I ran across this line of mugs online which appear to be Polish? I don't think any of these have come through Ooga Mooga or Tiki Central that I've noticed. Anybody on TC have some of these? Are these for home use or is there a Polish Tiki bar using these?

I searched around but couldn't find anything as for bars.. Some cool designs, couple are similar to some vintage designs.. Tiki Mug Hua Ka'i looks like one I've seen before somewhere maybe.. Nice Find Tom!

I first encountered APS Tiki ceramics while visiting the Stockholm Tiki Room in Sweden a couple of months ago....

I was most impressed by the bowls...

On my way back to LA I stopped by in Hamburg at my local watering hole, the Cabana Tiki Bar...

...to meet Tongan Tiki Queen Sonja:

To my surprise, I found out that my friend Dirk Rheder, who had designed their menu, was also responsible for the new line of APS mugs. APS is a bar glas supply company with outlets in many Western and Eastern European countries. The Cabana bar was selling the whole line, and I really liked his Fu Manchu mug, so I bought one:

Upon my return to Europe a week ago, I contacted Dirk so I could receive an example of his latest work, a promotional mug made by APS for Bols, the Dutch liquor company:

I had fallen in love with it at first sight. Though I am a traditionalist, and I would have never thought that a WHITE Tiki concept could work, but when I saw this puppy I had to have one!:

Here it is lined up with some Bols bottles ay the Cabana Bar. It's such a great play on Dutch Delftware:

Nice to see someone in the know! If I go through Hamburg Ill stop by the Cabana Bar

Any chance you can request a bit more info from your friend on which bars we can find / buy the APS mugs from & putting it on here?
